It only gets worse for Fetzer when it comes to "Paul is Dead."
At the same time he was making these damning photographic comparisons, the eagle-eyed professor hit upon a published confession by Ringo that Paul had died and been replaced. He quickly took to the airwaves with the dynamite, which he found on a website called HollywoodInquirer.com. It was a bombshell that proved his research. There was only one problem, as a listener quickly pointed out. The story was a complete hoax and the website bunkum.
That did not deter Fetzer however. While he admitted that HollywoodInquirer.com being a "shell site" was "notable," his opponent was making an "elementary fallacy to judge the truth or falsity of a claim on the basis of its source." Fetzer called such faulty logic "a genetic fallacy." Couldn't his intellectually challenged opponents make the small leap in elementary dialectical reasoning necessary to conclude that it didn't matter whether Ringo's "confession" was "real." What was important was that this fiction "ties together all the loose ends of the case in a very tight package that I believe is complete, accurate and true."
This isn't the only time Fetzer has used such logical contortions to deny there's egg on his face. He once found a clip of the moon landing being faked and proceeded to trumpet it as a smoking gun. Only problem, it was comedic footage of a recent vintage. There again, the provenance didn't matter, the very fact that the footage of this moon landing skit looked so much what was broadcast to viewers as the Apollo Landings was proof that it could be easily faked. Ergo NASA's moon landings were fake.
I seriously don't know what to think. Is he truly crazy or is he a mole putting on a show? Any thoughts people? (If he is a good man who's gone over the edge, such musings as above may be construed as piling on.)
